Finally, a performance valve body designed specifically for towing applications to avoid neck breaking shifts. Installing an upgraded valve body to a Dodge transmission is one of the best things you can do to prolong the life of the transmission and to deliver a crisp shift pattern, instead of the "mush" stock Dodge transmissions are known for. However, many aftermarket valve bodies are tailored more towards hot-rod diesels, thus have a very abrupt shift schedule when used for towing. This is where the ATS "Towing Edition" valve body comes in!

The "Towing Edition" Valve Body features a progressive line pressure increase and is exhaust brake ready allowing for 1st and 2nd gear lock up (if used with the ATS CoPilot).

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

• Improved shift characteristics
• Increased reliability
• Optimized for use with exhaust brake

The throttle valves (TV Valve) in a transmission's valve body control the shift timing between gears through the constriction of hydraulic fluid. The TV also controls the line pressure required to clamp the clutch pack and band inside the transmission. Until now, these valves have been known to have issues sticking inside the bore in the valve body, or wearing out due to friction, which will in turn cause malfunction and improper shifts.

Despite all of the changes made in the past to the material from which the valve is made, the bore itself in the valve will wear and prevent proper movement of the valve. Especially in the Dodge automatic transmission, Dodge manufactures the stock valve body from a very cheap "mystery" material that is extremely soft and prone to premature wear.

ATS has designed an innovative solution for Dodge 48RE transmissions using a unique 'Hydro-balanced Valve and Sleeve'. By altering both the shape and material of the valve itself, as well as placing a hardened sleeve in the valve body's bore, the sticking issues are prevented. The valves in the ATS Valve Body perform extremely smoothly and operate as intended after extended use. Utilizing this new design, valve and sleeve assembly allows the hydraulic flow to be altered providing a more aggressive line pressure slope, while providing quality shifts and torque converter clutch engagement. When using the stock TV valve or oversized TV valves, increased line pressure causes hard and abrupt shifts, unwanted by most drivers.
